From the amounts appropriated under subsection (f), the Secretary of Education, in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, shall award competitive grants to States that wish to increase the capacity and build the infrastructure within the State to offer high-quality prekindergarten programs. A State that is not receiving funds under section 115 may compete for grant funds under this subtitle if the State provides an assurance that the State will, through the support of grant funds awarded under this subtitle, meet the eligibility requirements of section 115 not later than 3 years after the date the State first receives grant funds under this subtitle.
The Secretary shall award grants to States under this subtitle for a period of not more than 3 years and such grants shall not be renewed. A State receiving a grant under this subtitle may use the grant funds to make subgrants to eligible local entities (defined in section 112(7)) to carry out activities under the grant. An eligible local entity receiving a subgrant under subparagraph
(A)shall comply with the requirements for States receiving a grant under this subtitle, as appropriate. A Governor of a State that desires to receive a grant under this subtitle shall submit an application to the Secretary of Education at such time, in such manner, and accompanied by such information as the Secretary may reasonably require, including a description of how the State plans to become eligible for grants under section 115 by not later than 3 years after the date the State first receives grant funds under this subtitle. In developing an application for a grant under this subtitle, a Governor of a State shall consult with the State Advisory Council on Early Childhood Education and Care, and incorporate their recommendations, where applicable. To be eligible to receive a grant under this subtitle, a State shall contribute for the activities for which the grant was awarded non-Federal matching funds in an amount equal to not less than 20 percent of the amount of the grant. To satisfy the requirement of paragraph (1), a State may use— cash; or an in-kind contribution. The Secretary may waive paragraph
(1)or reduce the amount of matching funds required under that paragraph for a State that has submitted an application for a grant under this subtitle if the State demonstrates, in the application, a need for such a waiver or reduction due to extreme financial hardship, as determined by the Secretary of Education. There are authorized to be appropriated to carry out this subtitle— $750,000,000 for fiscal year 2016; and such sums as may be necessary for each of fiscal years 2017 through 2025.
